VETERANS

To determine your eligibility for Veterans’ Preference, the Department of Labor has developed an Expert Advisor
System to answer questions regarding employee eligibility, employee job entitlements, benefits, and remedies
under Veterans’ Preference. The Internet address for the Veterans’ Preference Advisor is
http://www.dol.gov/dol/vets/public/programs/programs/preference/main.htm

Who Is Entitled To Veterans' Preference in Employment?

(State employment service offices have veteran representatives available to assist veterans in gaining access to
this information.)

TYPES OF PREFERENCE

5 Point Preference is given to those honorably separated veterans (an honorable or general discharge) who
served on active duty (other than active duty for training) in the Armed Forces:
• During any war (this means a war declared by Congress, the last of which was World War II);
• During the period April 28, 1952, through July 1, 1955;
• For more than 180 consecutive days, any part of which occurred after January 31, 1955, and before
October 15, 1976;
• During the Gulf War period beginning August 2, 1990, and ending January 2, 1992; or
• In a campaign or expedition for which a campaign medal has been authorized, such as El Salvador,
Grenada, Haiti, Lebanon, Panama, Somalia, Southwest Asia, and Bosnia

Medal holders or Gulf War veterans who originally enlisted after September 7, 1980, or entered active duty on
or after October 14, 1982, without having previously completed 24 months of continuous active duty, must
have served continuously for 24 months or the full period called or ordered to active duty. At least one day of
service must have occurred during the period beginning August 2, 1990 and ending January 2, 1992 to be
eligible for preference for Gulf War service. Applicants who served on active duty exclusively after these dates
would have to be in receipt of a campaign badge or expeditionary medal.

10 Point Disability Preference is given to those honorably separated veterans who:

• Qualify as disabled veterans because they have served on active duty in the Armed Forces at any time
and have a present service-connected disability or are receiving compensation, disability retirement
benefits, or pension from the military or the Department of Veterans’ Affairs;
• Are Purple Heart recipients

10 Point Compensable Disability Preference is given to those honorably separated veterans who:

• Served at any time and who have a compensable service-connected disability rating of at least 10
percent but less than 30 percent

10 Point 30 Percent Compensable Disability Preference is given to those honorably separated veterans
who:
• Served at any time and who have a compensable service-connected disability rating of 30 percent or
more

10 Point Other (Derived) Preference is given to:

• The spouse of a veteran unable to work because of a service-connected disability;

• The unmarried widow or widower of certain deceased veterans; and
• The mother of a veteran who died in service or who is permanently and totally disabled

Note 1: Effective October 1, 1980, military retirees at or above the rank of major or equivalent are not entitled to
preference unless they qualify as disabled veterans.

Note 2: Reservists who are retired from the Reserves but are not receiving retired pay are not considered "retired military"
for purposes of veterans' preference.
